When first released to Muggles in March 2001, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages further enlightened Harry Potter fans about the dangers and delights of the wizarding world. Now these two charming works of non-fiction are available in hardcover -- in a special keepsake slipcase edition!
Now, the classic books from the library of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry--Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages--are available in hardcover in a sturdy boxed gift set. (These books are written by J.K. Rowling herself under the pseudonyms Newt Scamander and Kennilworthy Whisp.) Finally, Muggles will have the chance to discover where the Quintaped lives, what the Puffskein eats, and why it is best not to leave milk out for a Knarl. The Quidditch textbook explains where the Golden Snitch came from, how the Bludgers came into existence, and why the Wigtown Wanderers have pictures of meat cleavers on their clothes. Both books, designed to look like Harry Potter's actual, used Hogwarts textbooks, feature silly scribblings from Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Proceeds from the sale of this gift set will go to improving and saving the lives of children around the world. Harry Potter fans, rejoice! (All ages)

Nice Companion Books:
Nice companion books for the Harry Potter series. It was nice to look up creatures that are mentioned in the books. Liked the creature book better than the Quiddich book but I enjoyed both of them.
Interesting.:
I really liked these two books since long time ago, and last time when I was in the book store, I bought Beedle the Bard, then I remembered these two books, I knew that it would be difficult to find them in the book store, so I browsed Amazon. Really interesting, strong recommended for teenagers!
never received this order:
I never received this order. I contacted Amazon and was given a full refund.
Harrys Schoolbooks:
This was a fun little aside for the hardcover collection. I also had to replace one of my hardcovers (Book 5) as I had loaned it to a friend and never gotten it back.
